Thank you!!! The reason I went with an auto is that I like to take long drives, I like driving down the winding back roads by my area without having to worry about shifting, and I like going to the track, plus the biggest reason is my wife said she wanted to drive it and she can't drive "stick shift" LMFAO!!!!

Nice ride. I had a 2003GT convertible Black. Loved that car and miss it. I have been looking at a 2004 Saleen convertible to replace it if the price comes down on it.

My sister lives in Lockport, it's a nice area over there! Ya it is crazy that they are gone now but I guess the village has plans to build a strip mall there. Do you ever make it out to dukes on 87th & Harlem for the weekend shows in the summer?

360rwhp / 341ft lbs. torque on a consertive tune but I'm planning in doing a few things this spring and get a retune and hopefully can bring her up to around 400

Ya they stopped for a couple years, a few years back , but for the last two years Dukes is back better than ever! There are a ton of mustangs that go up there on Friday and Saturday nights its good times you should try to make it out this year, there is a nice mix of classic and modern muscle , good times for sure!
